The following sections contain links to a variety of meteorological resources. This list is not exhaustive; a simple Google search using the key phrase "weather" or "climate," for example, will likely provide you with numerous potentially useful resources not listed here (e.g., local forecasts, meteorology 101s). Instead, each link here connects with resources that I am familiar with and find useful. The idea of offering a list like this came up when I was teaching a course and students request that I direct them to some "real-time" weather data. Since then, the list has grown considerably. If you find a resource(s) that you think should be added, feel free to let me know via email: here.
